Default Naming Drives in Explorer

hi,
I did place this question at the end of another topic in another
thread, but groups are all about letting all see questions and the
answers so I decided to make it a new thread.
I am trying to remember how to Name a drive in Explorer. My own
partitions are all named, for example, my C: drive is named 'Majesty'
in explorer and etc for my D & E drives.
There is no right-click 'rename' available for this task and I cannot
remember if I tickled the registry or not.
I am currently searching through some sites relating to Win98 Tips
but so far no luck; hope one of you guys know.

...Rex..

It's not the Name that I am annoyed about, it is rather the fact
that I was the one who changed it in the first place and hence I
already knew.

Thank you for the Colourful "s n a f u", I'm sure it will
come in handy.
